As you prepare to hit the road for summer vacation, it’s always good to check the safety of your vehicle.

The National Safety Council and founding coalition partner FCA US is making it easy to find out about the latest vehicle recalls.

The groups launched Check To Protect, a new national public awareness campaign urging drivers to check their vehicles for and promptly address any open recalls.

CheckToProtect.org allows users to enter their 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) or make and model to check for open recalls.

A VIN is located on the driver’s side of the car, on the dashboard by the windshield as well as the side of the door. It is also often included in insurance documents.

If a vehicle does have an open recall, a driver can get it fixed for free at a local authorized dealership, the National Safety Council said.

“Vehicle crashes are one of the leading causes of death in the United States,” said Deborah A.P. Hersman, president and CEO of the National Safety Council. “When vehicles are in top form, they reduce critical risks. Unfortunately, too many drivers are complacent when it comes to recalls, or they are unsure whether their car is subject to one. Check To Protect should help close that knowledge gap and, by extension, make our roads safer."
